## Affected

- Typesetter: through 5.1

## Description

Typesetter CMS versions up to and including 5.1 contain a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the administrative interface within the Tools Status functionality. The path parameter is reflected into the HTML response without proper output encoding in include/admin/Tools/Status.php. An authenticated attacker can supply crafted input containing HTML or JavaScript, resulting in arbitrary script execution in the context of an authenticated user's browser session.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Typesetter, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
